10 Days in Switzerland - 6 Unique Itinerary Ideas

Whether traveling to Switzerland by train, car, or on foot, you can cover a lot of ground in 10 days. Avid hikers can tackle a multiday Bernese Oberland trek, while thrill seekers can pair Montreux rafting with paragliding in neighboring France. Those keen on culture and cuisine will appreciate a Zürich chocolate workshop, Lucerne's "night watchmen" tour, and cheese tasting in Gruyères. Interlaken ice skating, snowshoeing near Lugano, and Christmas market-hopping are ideal for winter enthusiasts.

In the Alpine wonderland that is Switzerland, public transport takes on a whole new meaning. Over 10 days, you'll travel between colorful towns, lakeside cities, and mountain peaks by train, cogwheel railway, and even cable cars. Other highlights include hiking across green meadows, kayaking on azure lakes, riding bikes past waterfalls, and ascending iconic peaks like the Matterhorn.

Visit traditional Swiss villages, explore high-elevation alpine lakes, and cross high rocky passes as you trek through the Alps on this 10-day itinerary from Chamonix to Zermatt. Head east across the mountain range as you traverse mountainsides, hike along glacier foothills and look for wildlife (like ibex and marmots). Spend your nights in lakeside mountain huts and cozy towns, falling asleep to the sound of the wind and water. 

Spend a day skiing in St. Moritz

No need to let this winter be drab and bleak when you can jet off to the iconic Alps for a cold-weather holiday you won't soon forget. During this 10-day Swiss vacation, you'll enjoy many highlights, including ski days in St. Moritz, ice skating in Interlaken, and cable car rides up the Matterhorn—you'll even take a fondue boat cruise. As an added bonus, the trip starts with snowshoeing near the Italian border.

Strike out on mountain adventures from lakeside Lucerne

The best way to enjoy Switzerland's famous Alpine landscapes is by train—whether it's between cities or up mountain peaks. You'll traverse both on this 10-day highlights tour that starts in the north at Zürich, turns south to lakeside Lugano in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, and then heads west to check off Lucerne, Bern, and Montreux. In between, you'll participate in cheese and chocolate workshops and even hop over to Italy for a cruise across chic Lake Como.

Enjoy the view from a paragliding excursion over the Alps

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Steffani
St. Moritz

A solid 4-star option in St. Moritz. The hotel is conveniently located near shopping and a grocery store. Breakfast is good and the staff is genuinely friendly. One unexpected perk — a free gym, which is rare for 4-star hotels in Switzerland. The rooms are modern and well renovated. One thing to be aware of: the building is older, and the hallways have quite a few steps up and down, so it may not be the best choice for those with accessibility needs.

Lugano

This hotel checks every box. The location is fantastic — right in the center of town with a tram stop just outside the door that takes you directly to the train station. Everything is within walking distance. The hotel itself feels brand new, and the free breakfast is outstanding. Best spread we've seen. Highly recommend.

Zurich sunset tour and Cheese Fondue
Zurich sunset tour and Cheese Fondue
Zürich

Our tour guide Alan was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fun facts about Switzerland. The tour included a stop at the Lindt chocolate factory followed by dinner on top of a mountain with a stunning view of Zurich. A great combination. My teenage son, who is generally hard to impress, genuinely enjoyed it — which says a lot. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zurich.

Valentine is simply the best. She put together an incredible vacation for me and my teenage daughter on very short notice — just two months — and somehow made a magical multi-stop trip across Switzerland that met our requirements (no driving, nice hotels in walking distance to train and fun snow activities in the Alps)

As someone who listened to a meticulous planner, I was blown away by her attention to detail. Every piece of the itinerary was thoughtfully designed, organized, and easy to follow. And when the inevitable travel hiccups popped up — in our case, winter weather in Switzerland — Valentine and her team at Mobee International were proactive and completely on top of it.

What truly set her apart was the personal touch. She scheduled a video call with me and my daughter early on to hear what we were hoping to experience before planning the trip, checked in with us at multiple points along the way, suggested new opportunities we might enjoy, and made herself available on short notice whenever we needed her. We always felt supported.

I honestly can’t say enough great things about Valentine and her team at Mobee. If you’re looking for thoughtful planning, genuine care, and top-notch service, she’s the one.
